Serigne Mbaye's journey is parallel to the larger picture of how climate migration intersects with politics. Now, he is considered one of the most vocal politicians in Madrid for migrant rights.

SHAPIRO: This trend is happening around the world. Far-right politicians are gaining power by vilifying immigrants. When Donald Trump announced his latest presidential run, he said, our southern border has been erased, and, quote,"we will be paying a big price for this invasion into our country for years to come." Italy's new government recently blocked migrants from leaving their ships, forcing a standoff with rescue organizations.
YAST: The man I met, I don't even remember his face really? Why? Because there is a system in which it's very difficult to remember the people. You understand? And so the Serigne I met, I couldn't see apart from non-paper man. But what makes Serigne special, the fact that he's joining the political line in making him a lot more special.
MBAYE: Honestly, it is a lot of pressure. That's why I have to think carefully about every single word, every step I take because it's not just me. It's the whole community.
